Insurgents captured four Syrian airmen Sunday after their helicopter crashed in a rebel-held area in northwestern Syria.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks violence in the country, said the aircraft experienced a technical malfunction and made an emergency crash landing near Jabal al-Zawiya. Syria's state news agency confirmed one of its helicopters crashed in Idlib province.
